Protect Your Pets Health With Home Cooking
Protect Your Pets Health With Home Cooking
My Lhasa Apso Gallagher came to me completely hairless except for the hair on his head. He looked so bad that the humane society scheduled him to be euthanized, luckily he was saved by a local rescue group. His hair loss was due to lack of care and nutrition from his time spent on the streets. I was able to see past Gallagher’s condition when I looked into his big brown eyes that were calling for me to save him. I immediately secured the services of a holistic veterinarian. Over a six month period we tried every specialty food product available on the market. Some were quite awful, mushy fish and potatoes being high on the list. No matter what I did Gallagher always had this smell of fish about him. Out of complete frustration I told the vet that I had to take matters into my own hands. The Vet was very helpful in telling me what not to feed the Lhasa breed. Of course I did do some further research as I didn’t want to jeopardize Gallagher’s heath in any way. It took another three months before I actually started to see a nice coat of hair covering his body. After experimenting with several food combinations I settled on chicken, fresh cat fish, some beef and occasionaly turkey. Unfortunately Gallgher has an aversion to rice, so he’s just a meat and poulty guy. It’s now eight years since Gallagher came into my life. He along with his sisters Fanny and Kiki are still eating home cooked meals. I truly believe this is the natural and healthy way to feed my pets. As a testament to this belief all of my pets have been quite healthy throughout their lives. I am also so grateful that I didn’t have to be concerned with all the pet food scares going on these days. I know that I’m doing the cooking and all my dogs are quite happy, healthy and satisfied. Whenever I take Gallagher to the groomer I am reminded of his early days in my life and I can clearly see the black leather skin on his hairless body. All it took was a little home cooking to restore Gallagher’s dignity and health.

Top 10 Tips on Caring For Your Pet Cat
You need to make sure that your cat is regularly cared for by a good vet as well. By knowing the 10 ways to look after your cat you will have a pet who is happy with you and who you can develop a wonderful relationship with. 1 - Fit your cat with a collar and attached to it details relating to you including your telephone number. This way if your cat does happen to get out and goes missing then the chances of them being returned to you will be greatly improved. 2 - Today you will also find that it is a legal requirement that your cat is actually micro chipped. This is something that your vet needs to do and normally they will inject the small device between the animal’s shoulder blades. As well as you having a copy of the identification information this is then entered into a database and so if animal is lost a quick swipe of the animal will tell if it is the one. 3 - Although many cats like to be able to go outside if you live in a built up area it is best if you keep them confined to your home. Ideally look at providing them with plenty of things such as a scratching post so that they don’t get bored and start to damage your furniture instead. Plus it is a good idea when you go out to restrict them to one room only in the house (i.e., the kitchen) and make sure that they have everything that they need. 4 - It is important with any pet including cats that they go to the vet regularly not just for checkups but for boosters of their vaccinations. If you are unsure which vet to use, ask a friend, neighbour or a family member if they can recommend someone. 5 - You may not like it but having your cat spayed or neutered is extremely important especially if they are allowed to roam outside. Not only will your cat be a lot healthier but this will help to prevent you ending up with more cats than you wanted. 6 - You need to ensure that you provide your cat with a well balanced nutritional diet and make sure that they have a good continuous supply of fresh water. If you are unsure just what you should be feeding your cat then speak to your vet and they may recommend something for them. Certainly it is best for young cats (kittens) and older cats that they are give food specifically designed for them. A quick search online and you will see there are plenty of products now available suitable for all types of cats no matter their ages. 7 - As mentioned you need to prevent your cats from doing things that you find undesirable. Although you may not believe it but just like dogs a cat can be taught to do things. However, it will take quite a lot of time and effort on your part and certainly you will need lots of patience with your animal if you want to stop such problems from arising such as them jumping up on to kitchen counters or tables. 8 - If you want your cats coat to remain looking good then you need to be regularly grooming them, especially if the cat has long hair. Grooming long haired cats regularly will help to prevent their coats from becoming matted, plus it also helps to remove loose hairs as well. Although short haired coats don’t need so much grooming as long haired breeds by brushing them regularly you are stopping them from ingesting the loose hairs when they groom themselves. If they ingest too much hair it can form into hairballs which if they cannot expel can lead to other health issues for your cat. 9 - You may not believe it but it is a good idea to actually spend some time playing with your cat especially if they are kept in the house all the time. It not only helps to stimulate them physically but mentally as well, plus the bond between the two of you will be strengthened. 10 - Finally whenever you spend time with them carry out your own checks. This way if you spot any abnormalities in your pet you can take them immediately to the check to have the problem looked at further. When doing your own checks start at the head and work your way down the body. Check the ears make sure that they are clean and they are not producing any unpleasant odours. Next look at their eyes are these clear and bright and focus on you and check to see if there is any discharge. Then you come to the teeth this may be difficult but once you are able to make sure the gums are pink and there hasn’t been any build up of tartar on them. Plus you may not want to but see if their breath smells bad. The final thing to do is check their nose for any kind of discharge and when touched it should feel warm and dry. Above we have shown you 10 ways to care for your cat as long as you keep these in mind then you will find that you will have a healthy and happy animal.Adflyer is a free classifieds and shopping website aimed at both the general public and business users to promote sales within the UK. http://www.adflyer.co.uk <a href="http://www.adflyer.co.uk">Classifieds</a> Adflyer

Dasha's Healing
One day my wife went to our daughter s place to take her dog called Dasha for a walk. Usually it is the most joyous activity for Dasha and she is always grateful for this treat. But that evening she was breathing hard and expressed not joy but only sadness . When my wife touched her and wanted to give her a cuddle she screamed displaying unhappiness. As the next day it was planned to renovate our daughter s kitchen my wife offered to bring Dasha to our place next morning. In the morning, when Dasha came to our home, she did not greet us with joy standing on her back legs nor did she allow us to tickle her leg. She was breathing heavily, her head was bending down so that she could not look at us at all and her tail was hanging down as well. Instead of greeting me and lying down next to me as always happened before, she was just walking around me breathing with great difficulties. When I tried gently to pat her neck she screamed as she did the previous evening. I ve realized clearly that Dasha needs immediate help. I did not have much experience praying for the animals though I ve read and heard wonderful testimonies of healings. Though my heart was with that lovely dog but I still did not know exactly how to start praying for Dasha. My thoughts started wondering that the animals were not created as image and likeness of God, as man is, and therefore perhaps they are not spiritual and eternal. Suddenly the thought that All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestations embraced my consciousness. That thought became so real to me because of my study of the Science of divine Mind, described in the book Science and Health with key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy. From that fact I ve continued to reason that even though the animals perhaps are not eternal beings as man is, but because God, Mind created them, they also must reflect the beauty, health, goodness and perfection in their lives. Coming mentally to that point and seeing that Dasha was still suffering I ve called to the Lord God with all my heart and I ve started talking to Dasha claiming the truth about the dog as a God s creation. I ve said to Dasha with authority, Dasha, God made you good and therefore you are free from disharmony. Also I ve refused to accept in my consciousness that some accidents or evil tongues (these were two seeming suggestions about her abnormality) can have power or take a hold over Dasha! As she was still wondering around I ve continued to utter the truth for another 10 min until her breath calmed and she sat quietly in the corner. With some relief I ve praised God for that first step and mentally still was holding the truth that all creations which God has made are good including Dasha and so nothing inharmonious could enter in God s creation. In 5 min Dasha was already lying in peace. In 20 min I ve stood up and in that moment Dasha as usual joyfully ran up to me holding her head up and giving me her leg to pat and shake it. Her tail was up again and she ran quickly to the kitchen to have her breakfast. But this was not the end of the story. After the walks Dasha sometimes experienced difficulties with breathing but after that Friday morning she comes home after walk with joy and without laboured breathing at all. I was so grateful to God for that healing and for learning that the animals as the children are so receptive to healing.
